A brave mom who was attacked by a grizzly bear while jogging said her 2-year-old daughter was her inspiration to survive. Vanessa Chaput, 24, of Yukon, Canada, recovered in the hospital after a grizzly bear attack that required more than 30 stitches. Courtesy Dave Leegstra"I spotted the male that would attack me first ... and two smaller bears about 10 feet away from me,” she said. Luna ripped away from Chaput and chased the two smaller bears away, leaving Chaput alone with the male bear. She doesn’t know why the smaller bears didn’t attack Luna, but she suspects her mighty bark scared them away.

FOUNEX, Switzerland Aug 25 (Reuters) - Lake Geneva, nestled at the foot of the Alps, has long been considered as a near-pristine body of water, but new research has found that its plastic pollution levels are as high as those in the oceans. Oceaneye, a Geneva-based non-profit that has for more than a decade been scouring the seas to collect plastic fragments, has turned its attention closer to home to landlocked Switzerland. [1/5]A boat of NGO Oceaneye collects plastic fragments in the water of Lake Leman in Founex near Geneva, Switzerland August 21, 2023. Microplastics derive from the breakdown of various consumer and industrial plastic waste over time and their concentrations are accumulating in the world's oceans. "When we began working on this 12 years ago and talked about plastic fragments in water, people took us for wackos and now it is a recognised problem."
